To Nismo or Not to Nismo?

RicerX

Couple things -

Unknown - please allow me to live vicariously through you and go test drive an M2. Would really like to see what you think.

Also - for now, the VR30 is costly to mod because options are so limited, and they really haven't "cracked the nut" on it yet. Remember how expensive **** used to be for the Z34, and now there are many more options and the pricing has come down on some stuff. This too will happen with the VR30 eventually, but if you're getting into anything VR30 powered right now, you're still in the "first-mover" window, and with that comes the cost of being one of the new cool kids on the block.

That being said, turbo Nismo Z34 sounds like a great ******* idea.

Carry on, lads!

I was at BMW dealer looking for a car for the wife and I asked the salesman that was helping us about the M2 as he is a car guy and he said great car but over priced. They are bringing $10k over invoice. I didn't even ask for test drive...

Yes, that was true in certain areas, however supply has been catching up with initial demand, and MSRP can be found at many dealers now. Also if your are a part of certain organizations, like USAA where fleet discounts are available with BMW, you'll get $2,500 off MSRP on the M2.

I'm picking up a M2 from Munich Germany in less then 3 weeks utilizing BMW's European Delivery program, where I'm getting 5% off of US MSRP. I did get to test drive the M2 awhile back and posted on here about it, comparing it to a M235i. The M2 felt like it had improved steering, definitely better suspension and is more engaging, almost Z like, when compared to the M235i. Don't get me wrong, the M235i is a worthy, fast car (but clinical IMO). It would make a good DD for someone who has a lot of highway driving plus can be fun in the twisties. However steering feel (while very precise), body roll and a feeling of isolation from the road, compared to the Z, made me not consider it as a replacement to the Z.

I'll be on the road for 9 days in Europe with the M2 and will be able to give a better review of it then.
